OK, 3 gallons of water would do it. I was figuring on getting it at
each campsite, and along the way.
3 gallons = approx 12 litres = approx 25lbs. Touché!

I do use Finish Line because the tube screws into a nice miniature
grease gun I have, designed for GreaseGuard, with which I can inject
the oil holes of a classic hub. It is different from the Castrol: much
harder to use for example to pack a bearing or coat a cable or a
threaded fastener or seal a joint- doesn't spread well. I wouldn't
use it except haven't found a container to use the Castrol in with the
mini-grease gun. The price is something like... 100x Castrol?

Yup. Really really really hard.
